If that’s the case, then it probably won’t happen until later next week. There’s some water coming downstream and I don’t know that they want to back off much on spilling until that gets down to a reasonable level.
Maybe they can do some “rough” or preliminary clearing while things are somewhat turbulent. But I don’t know - that might be unsafe. Those flat barges don’t look very sea-worthy.
They already backed off to 80k CFM... I’m being optimistic that that is the lowest they need to go to clear the channel and get the damn flowing... in retrospect, probably a really bad assumption! If they need to stop spillway flow to dredge, that is an entirely different ballgame.
